I love a good ghost town. I biked through a few while cycling across America on some rarely traveled roads in the northwest US. I am always interested in how towns fail and curious what the last person to leave thought as they loaded up their belongings and left an empty town. General stores, saloons, […]
Day Trip Itinerary for visiting Death Valley with Kids
Death Valley is hot. Believe what you read about the heat. It is oppressive and dangerous. It’s dangerous for adults, and it’s especially dangerous for little kids. We visited Death Valley National Park with our 1 and 4 year old kids in May. By 9am, temperatures in the valley reached 90 degrees F. The hottest […]
Biking Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is fantastic. The landscape is stunning, and the opportunities for hiking, climbing, and biking are plentiful. We spent most of our week in Yosemite Valley, taking in the waterfalls and cliffs throughs some short day hikes, but when possible we tried to find a little elbow room in a crowded park. We hiked a […]
Day Trip to Sequoia National Park
We stopped in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks on our drive from Joshua Tree National Park to Yosemite National Park. Sequoia gave us a bit of climate shock, and we underestimated just how cold it would be high in the Sierras. We woke up that morning in the hot Mojave desert in Joshua Tree. […]
Sunrise Sessions with Wilson
Remember that post when I talked about the challenges of a family of four sleeping in an RV? Well, we’re still having some challenges establishing a routine while roaming the country, but our sleeping habits have normalized a bit. Every morning, Wilson wakes up about 6:00am. Sometimes 5:30am, and more rarely 6:30am. He doesn’t just […]
Hiking, Climbing and Camping in Joshua Tree National Park – Near Los Angeles
We had a blast hiking and climbing in Joshua Tree National Park. There are tons of fun activities to do in the park, even for a family with small children, and the park landscape feels like a prehistoric world. We had only planned to stay three days, but after our first day exploring the unique […]
Explore Dead Horse Ranch State Park – Cottonwood, AZ
We headed to Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Arizona because we had confused it with pictures we saw of Dead Horse State Park in Utah on Google Images, which is absolutely stunning. We were a little surprised to show up to Dead Horse RANCH State Park to find it nothing like the pictures, nonetheless […]
Monthly Expenses for Full Time RVing – April 2016
Early on, we created a monthly budget for our RV trip, and we planned to share our monthly expenses to see how much it cost to RV around America. Last month, we shared our RV expenses for the month of March. Below are April’s expenses, during which time we pulled our Airstream across America from […]
Property Management While Traveling Put to the Test
Well, it has happened, and it happened much sooner than I thought. One of the tenants in our rental properties back home had a legit emergency. In fact, it was the tenant in our home. The hot water heater pressure release valve spewed water all over the floor. We were fortunate that the hot water […]
Snowy Day At the Grand Canyon Reignites A Past Interest
We only planned to spend one day at the Grand Canyon before heading to Joshua Tree National Park. While the Grand Canyon is massive, one day was about right for us for a visit, as we just wanted to cycle and walk around the well-traveled South Rim trails to take in some of the awesome […]
